Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th April - 4th May 2023]

Bit stingy today with one match. Brighton game could have been a good watch?
Delay on Palace game so BT build-up even more annoying, unless you like watching adverts of course
 
Sad I missed the first half, seems like Crystal Palace Vs West ham was a cracker. Hopefully my tubing in won't turn this is into a dull 0-0 second half
 
I'm still not entirely sure that I get the thinking behind giving a yellow card for taking your shirt off. Seems very odd to me.
I think it's dual purpose, they don't really want people doing the messages on shirts thing because it might bring the league into disrepute. Also they don't want people removing their shirts after 10,000 women became spontaneously pregnant when Ryan Giggs removed his shirt back in the day.

Thing is, take the Palace player today, he had no message underneath and was wearing another top under his shirt. So no message, no nakedness (because a naked chest is SO offensive :D ) , yet gets a booking for taking his shirt off. I see some people say its for excessive celebration, yet you are allowed to do a silly little dance or punch the corner flag or make symbols/letters with your hands and fingers , all without getting booked, but heaven help you if you lift up your shirt !
 
It's easy just to have one rule really, it shouldn't be a hard one to follow.
It shouldnt, I mean I've never had the urge to rip my shirt off in life, so should be easy enough to resist the urge but its just a thing of logic to me. Cant see why taking a shirt off is any worse than running up to fans and screaming at them or dancing or hand signals or a naked chest is any more offensive than naked knees and elbows. Dont see any logical reason for it to be a booking.
